Running ScriptsHi there,

Sorry I know this is a bit of a naff question but I can’t figure it out…

I’m trying to run a script from within a toolbar button so I can modify the script externally and the button will always be running the current script file.

I found this in the docs, but no info on how to do it??
• You can create a custom command to run a script from a button on a custom toolbar.

Did you look in the docs for information about Custom Commands and how to create them?

Well i don’t really want to make a Custom Command just yet,
I’d just like to run this script I’m working on externally. Is that possible?

RunScript “C:\Softimage\XSI_7.01\Data\XSI_SAMPLES\Scripts\test.vbs”
I guess it’s not that easy?

Don’t sure how about toolbars, but on shelf just drag file from browser and you get ‘Add Script Command’

Ahh great, thanks streaker that’s exactly what I need!!! It did come back with a bit of an error at the start…

‘ ERROR : 2000 - File not found - C:\Softimage\XSI_7.01\Application\DSScripts\Body Simple.vbs
BodySimple

but you just have to point it in the right direction and it works fine for the time being!

Thanks

Here try this

[INDENT]sub Execute
‘Points to the file is
filepath = Directory & File
‘Scripting Language: “Python” - “VBScript” - “JScript”
Language = “VBScript”
ExecuteScript filePath, Language
end sub

Directory = “\Data\Scripts\Biped\”
File = “script.vbs”
Execute
[/INDENT]
